Netanyahu is a "Clear and Present Danger" to Israel, Warns Former U.S. Ambassador to Israel
Former U.S. ambassador to Israel Martin Indyk slammed Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu as Sunday (Dec 10) “clear and present danger” to the country, and called on him to resign “before he does even more damage to Israel.”
“[Netanyahu’s] determination to stay in power no matter the cost is a clear and present danger to Israel. He needs to resign…yesterday!” Indyk wrote in a post on X Sunday morning.
His comments came following a New York Times report that Netanyahu not only was aware that Qatar was shuttling millions of dollars a month to Gaza, where it helped prop up the Hamas government, but that he encouraged the payments.
According to the Times report, Netanyahu and other Israeli officials allowed the money to flow into Gaza in the hope that it would help maintain peace and stability in the region, and in the belief that Hamas had neither the desire nor the capacity to launch a large-scale attack. The Times previously reported that Israeli officials had blueprints of the Hamas’ plans more than a year before the Oct. 7 attack but chose to regard an actual attack as unlikely.
“He needs to resign before he does even more damage to Israel,” wrote Indyk, who was tasked with working to forge an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal during his roughly year-long tenure as President Barack Obama’s special Mideast envoy in 2013 and 2014.

⚖️ 🇺🇸 🏛 He Who Decides the Exception: Trump Should Disregard the Supreme Court’s National Guard Ruling
⬛️ Judicial overreach mustn’t be permitted to trample the public necessity.
🔶️ The Supreme Court has again reminded the country that, in the American system, the judiciary can halt executive action with the stroke of a pen—this time keeping in place a lower-court order blocking President Trump’s attempt to federalize and deploy National Guard forces to protect besieged immigration enforcement operations in and around Chicago.
🔶️ The point was that a republic cannot outsource its highest political judgments to a tribunal without hollowing out self-government. Put those threads together—Cicero’s salus populi, Aquinas’ equity, Locke’s prerogative, Hamilton’s executive energy, Jefferson’s coordinate construction, Jackson’s independence, Lincoln’s warning—and you get a tradition that modern progressives and libertarians alike often deny ...
This is no longer a red-versus-blue spectator sport or partisan cheerleading exercise. The macro reality is brutally apolitical. The United States is functionally bankrupt, as Ron Paul has warned for decades, and the evidence is now manifesting in collapsing purchasing power. The price of acquiring real money—gold and silver—has surged roughly 200% in just two years, a silent tax that represents systemic looting via monetary debasement. We are drifting toward a sovereign debt crisis unprecedented in the entire history of fiat currency regimes. Even conservative frameworks, like Jim Rickards’ back-of-the-napkin gold revaluation tied to balance-sheet realities, imply a potential trajectory toward $27,000 per ounce. You don’t need to be a “gold bug” to recognize risk management: allocating even 10% of depreciating Federal Reserve notes into real money is simple capital preservation. It’s not about upside speculation—it’s about avoiding total annihilation if real money ...
